Get to know us!

Meet our little (big!) family of three humans, one dog, four guinea pigs, thirteen chickens, and thousands of wriggly worms! At Little Tern Farm, our motto is simple: “Build a bigger table, not a higher fence.” We’re dedicated to creating a regenerative sanctuary that celebrates community, nurtures our son, and supports local wildlife—all while fostering a thriving ecosystem that showcases a greener future.

We believe in being community-sufficient rather than self-sufficient, and we embrace resilience in everything we do. Every day begins with the cheerful clucks of our chickens, and we dive into the earth, getting our hands (and feet!) dirty. We live simply, enjoy the freshest homegrown produce, share our surplus, compost our communities scraps, cultivate connections, and end each day under the glow of the moon and stars.

We are excited to learn and grow, and we’re so grateful to have you on this journey with us!

About our family

Hey, I’m Christiaan Urquhart

Farm operations manager

I like the simple things.. an appreciation for all things creative, reading widely, Nick Cave & brewing my own coffee. I am learning the art of sourdough & growing our own mushrooms.

I sit in our garden early each morning watching our chickens do their thing & marvel at all the diverse and amazing wildlife that pop in for a visit each day.
